Talking Maths

Develop mathematical language and thinking strategies

Talking Maths is an intervention programme aimed at children from Years 1 - 3,

but can be adapted for older children.

It supports children who are showing mathematical potential but who would benefit from developing their use and understanding of language in the context of mathematics.

The programme is also suitable for children where English is an additional language or speaking skills have been delayed.
